There has been little change in shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz after Iran and the US agreed to a pause in fighting in exchange for the unblocking of the vital waterway. Two fully laden Chinese oil tankers are waiting near the Strait, putting them in a position to become the first such vessels to leave the Persian Gulf. Bloomberg's Weilun Soon reports.

Japan’s most popular taxi-hailing provider Go Inc. is planning an initial public offering this year which could raise several hundred million dollars, according to people familiar with the matter. The IPO could raise in the range of 50 billion yen to 80 billion yen (approximately $300 million and $500 million) and the company is working with banks including Bank of America Corp. , Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Nomura Holdings Inc. on a possible listing, said the people who asked not to be identified as the information isn’t public. Discussions on the IPO are ongoing and details such as the target valuation and timing are subject to change, the people said. Representatives for BofA, Goldman, Nomura and Go Inc. declined to comment. Goldman invested ¥10 billion in 2023, valuing the company at ¥135 billion, according to the company’s president. Go Inc. runs the most widely used taxi hailing app in Japan in terms of user numbers, according to a survey in 2024 by ICT Research and Consulting Inc. It competes in the country against Uber Technologies Inc., China-based Didi Global Inc. and local provider S.Ride Inc., which is owned by Sony Group Corp. The offering could provide a much-needed tailwind for the nation’s slowing IPO market, which has had the weakest first quarter since 2022. Enthusiasm for new listings has soured amid a surge in crude oil prices following the US-Israeli attack on Iran. Major shareholder DeNA Co. , which holds about a 26% stake, said in February that Go Inc. had submitted an application to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Right now, when you think about prediction markets, you basically think about two main companies: Polymarket and Kalshi.

"If you look at earnings forecasts at the moment for the year, they're still well into double digit — 15, 16, 17, 18% — so there's a lot of headroom for the earnings to come down a little bit," Jewell tells Bloomberg Television.

Iron ore slid to its lowest in a month after a report that BHP Group ’s incoming chief executive officer had met with Chinese executives in Beijing this week, a possible sign that frosty relations between the mining giant and its main customer are thawing. BHP and China’s state-backed iron ore buyer have been locked in a dispute over pricing for months. A resolution to that quarrel could see restrictions on BHP cargoes lifted, expanding supply of the key steelmaking material including ore currently tied up at ports. Aluminum Corp. of China , a major metals producer, said on Chinese social media that its executives met on Wednesday with a BHP delegation which included Brandon Craig, who formally takes the helm of the miner on July 1. Iron ore futures in Singapore dropped as much as 3.5% to $102.10 a ton on Thursday, the lowest since March 10, before paring losses to trade at $102.55 a ton. The contract in Dalian fell as much as 2.4%.

CMRG has imposed curbs on certain BHP products after the two sides failed to come to agreement over long-term contracts. There hasn’t been any confirmation of a meeting between Craig and CMRG, and a BHP spokesperson declined to comment. Traders have nevertheless speculated that his presence in Beijing is a positive sign for the relationship and that a deal may have been reached.
